How does the ML community view AI-assisted writing in technical discussions? [D]

I've noticed an interesting contrast between professional and casual technical discussions.

In the corporate engineering environment where I work, AI-assisted writing is increasingly encouraged. When I produce structured technical explanations — often polished with LLMs — the feedback is positive, especially for documentation or implementation guidelines. Clarity helps decision-making and makes collaboration across teams easier.

However, in more informal communities (including Reddit), I've noticed a different reaction. Well-structured questions and arguments are sometimes dismissed as "AI slop," or met with comments like: "If you’re not interested in writing it, I’m not interested in reading it. Come back without using AI."

That contrast surprised me. The same level of structure and clarity that’s valued in professional environments can trigger suspicion in casual technical discussions.

I'm curious how others in the ML community think about this:

  • Do you view AI-assisted writing negatively in technical discussions?
  • Where do you draw the line between "assistance" and "outsourcing thinking"?
  • Does AI-polished writing change how you evaluate technical credibility?
